Hm. What happens in following sequence ?

  1. a memcg is created
  2. put a task into the memcg, start tcp steam
  3. set tcp memory limit

The resource used between 2 and 3 will cause the problem finally.

Then, Dave's request
==
You must either:

1) Integrate the socket's existing usage when the limit is set.

2) Avoid accounting completely for a socket that started before
   the limit was set.
==
are not satisfied. So, we need to have a state per sockets, it's accounted
or not. I'll look into this problem again, today.


Thanks,
